About This Access Site
Cross Point Landing is a public boat ramp providing access to Harris Lake (Shearon Harris Reservoir), a CP&L nuclear power reservoir located in Chatham County near Corinth, NC. This is one of two NC Wildlife Resources Commission-maintained ramps on the lake and serves as the primary launch point for boaters with trailers and motors. The ramp is accessible via SR 1127 and SR 1130 from US 1, making it convenient for paddlers and power boaters alike.

Harris Lake is a large, relatively protected waterway ideal for kayakers and canoeists of varying skill levels. Cross Point Landing offers a good launching alternative to the other public ramp (Holleman's Crossing) on the main lake body, which can experience rough conditions during heavy wind or boat traffic. The upper landing location makes it a practical choice for those seeking calmer paddling conditions on the reservoir's less-trafficked sections.

**Practical Notes:** This is a day-use access area maintained by NC Wildlife Resources Commission. Arrive early during peak season to secure parking and ramp space, as Harris Lake is a popular recreation destination. Bring appropriate safety gear and check current water conditions before launching. The site is free and open to the public for boating access.
